Oatmeal definitely. Also, running late in the a.m I'll throw some goat cheese crumbles, walnuts, craisins and lettuce into a bowl. I have balsamic here at work all the time. 3 minutes TOPS.

You have to NET 1200 calories to feel full and be healthy. On the "My Home" tab it will show you this chart: Calorie Goal Food (calories consumed from food) Exercise (calories Burned from exercise) NET (total for the day) EAT YOUR EXERCISE CALORIES! You want to net as close to 1200 as possible. Going over isn't a big deal…

All natural yogurts like the Greek yogurt is great. Be sure to check labels though! Flax seed work well also. You can purchase pro-biotic supplements from Whole Foods and the like. They're about $12-$20 but work like a charm! They aid in digestion and balance PH levels.

:noway: 10 DAYS LEFT 10 DAYS LEFT 10 DAYS LEFT :noway: Great job everyone despite all the scattered heat waves! You all are truly an inspiration... :drinker: Okay, down to business: The winning team MUST decide on a new challenge for July and let me know ASAP. So everyone, put those thinkin' caps on! We all know how a…

Agreed! I Laughed-Out-Loud more than I thought I would!

When Harry Met Sally pretty much set the bar. If you have Netflix, look up these obscure (but awesome!) little numbers: Wristcutters: A Love Story (not that morbid, TOM WAITS is in it!) TiMER The Sweetest Thing (Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate are ridiculous together) Broken English (Parker Posey)

This reminded me of that rap song: "I'm loookin' for a DIME that's top of the line! Cute face, little waist and a big behiiiiind!" I would try to play up your curves as much as possible! Get some flowy, v-neck or scoop neck line, empire waist shirts and cute belts to wear just below the bust line. I would avoid skinny…

Most teams (if not all, I'm not sure) are OVER 100 miles! That's great! Keep it up, y'all!

If you have to ask, you already know. Be honest with yourself and what you expect from any dude. Sitting and regretting an experience because you didn't trust your gut is one of the worst things. You are the prize and he has to run the course to get it!

First off, that is not all a fat gain if you indulge over a weekend. It's sodium/weight retention from processed foods. Don't stress! It's easily fixed with lots of water, fresh fruits and veggies. To avoid this feeling in the future, ALLOW yourself one "cheat day" with a "cheat MEAL". It's all about moderation. You can…

YES! A new challenge will be posted for July! Keep an eye on us!

I seriously love the energy and support in this thread! You all rock so very hard! KEEP IT UP!

Thanks! I hate working out at home but I can't really afford a yoga studio right now. I'm totally open to it when I get some extra bucks...or a groupon!

BUMP! Definitely reassuring I'm on the right track (cutting out processed foods and alcohol w/ 5 days of exercise). Thanks, Jillian!

What kind of bee produces milk? .....a BOO-BEE!

I would just take it as a compliment, of course! He's likes how you look! Look at it this way: Confidence=Sexy. You're becoming more confident with YOUR body and it's obvious. He's picking up on it as well and is turned on by you liking/taking care of YOURSELF. STRUT ON, GIRL!

GAME. SET. MATCH---Binary_Jester! I was always under the impression men for the most part were visual learners...you just confirmed it.

When they're really flattered you asked them to explain something "manly" (like sports or tools or cars) and go into great detail. I love how paitent and indepth they can be. But girls, DO NOT ask them to explain any sports, tools or cars while a sporting event is on or they're in the middle of changing your oil. :wink:…

Great resources!

Like what others are saying, you may need to increase your calories. Change from 2lbs a week to 1 lbs a week. Or, you can customize how many in the "Goals" tab. 1350 calories is a good starting point. It's easy to follow. Definitely eat more protein! MFP is notorious for setting protein low. It's OKAY to go over! You'll…

I know what you're saying. It's not that you're phoney or anything with your "real friends" it's just that mfp friends all have a similar mindset. We all came here for the aminimity and support of strangers. It's a way bigger base of people and it goes beyond your daily life. Weight loss is a private and personal journey…

PFFFFT. We aren't towel girls! You'll get plenty of miles in trying to catch up with us!

I read this in Self Magazine and thought of this thread. 10 Steps to Cleansing Without Fasting People often think of weight loss when they hear about the latest cleanse. The cleanse might involve juicing for five days or fasting for three. This sounds a bit tortuous to many of us. While there are fasts that some have…

Hi everyone! I can't believe the totals so far and we're only 6 days in! AWESOME! Just a friendly reminder to please, please, please submit your totals to your team captains instead of posting them here. Just send them an email. If you don't know your team captain, ask a teammate! It will just be so much easier and free up…

Just_Peachy is Team One-Derfuls new captain! So Captains; I think posting Sun, Monday, Wednesday, Friday would be best. WHat do you guys think? Also, please give credit to each member. For example: MONDAY'S MILES: 2 member1's miles 6 Member2's miles 9 Member3's miles 1 Member4's miles 18 (Mondays TEAM total) + 20 (previous…

ANNOUNCEMENTS: pa2b32 has suggested a great idea: TEAM CAPTAINS. Each team please pick a captain and message them your totals. The Captain will then make one post giving credit to each member. It'll cut down on clutter in this board. PLEASE PICK A TEAM NAME BY TOMORROW!

Great job! Please use the formula: ____ - (My Personal Miles) + _____ (Previous Team Miles Total) = _____ (New Team Miles Total)

Unfortunately, teams are closed at this time. There are too many things to keep track of and the message board would be very busy/confusing with any more new teams. Please check back throughout the month and see if any teams need members to finish the month. Sorry!

They all sound so great! I complete forgot about potato salad. What DUDE doesn't love that?!? Thanks, y'all!
